Before we get to the Five: a query from RevGalBlogPal Susan Olson:
Thank you, revgalmatriarchs for allowing me to cut into the normal programming. I have been asked to nose about an article on young female clergy bloggers for a mainline vanguard liberalish magazine (I love pseudonyms). If you are a clergy woman (or RC professed religious), blogger, and 32 years of age or younger, I'd love to talk to you. If you are interested in talking, please drop me a line at susan.olson(at)aya.yale.edu. For those over 32 who are young at heart, I hear you, I salute you, I join you---but I'm in need of the chronologically young for this one!
Thanks,
Susan Olson (not Cindy Brady--she's Susan Olsen---and if you were thinking that, you're probably not under 32.)

And now, on to the Five.
Those of us who are in the United States have just been through quite a topsy-turvy election. During the campaign we heard a fair amount about red states and blue states, when in fact most of us live in some shade of purple. And so... a lighter look at those confounding colors:
1. Favorite red food
2. Tell us about the bluest body of water you've ever seen in person.
3. It's movie rental time: Blue Planet, The Color Purple, or Crimson Tide?
4. What has you seeing red these days?
5. What or who picks you up when you're feeling blue?
Dare I tempt the all-too-temperamental Blogger by inviting folks to link?
<a href=URL-GOES-HERE>what you want the link to say</a>
If you're not feeling that daring, at least tell us the name of your blog, if it's not the same as your username. And we'll do our best to stop by!
Oh no, it's official... I'm not young anymore!! (Chelley - 36!)
ReplyDeleteAt 49 I am only young in my heart and spirit....
ReplyDeleteI played Friday Five. Go to seekingauthenticvoice....
Another old bag does the !
ReplyDeleteIn preview that looked perfect!
ReplyDeleteI give up. Go to my blog. Blogger decided to suck today.
ReplyDeleteRed, Blue and Purple from one who bleeds scarlet and gray (GO BUCKS)
ReplyDeleteNot even trying the link thing check out my blog!
that would be OLD scarlet and gray
ReplyDeleteblood...
I played.
ReplyDeleteNow will Blogger play fair? Nice, Blogger. Good Blogger. Is that a smile or snarl?
By way of a test:
ReplyDeleteI blew it, I should have linked to Hunt for Red October instead of Crimson Tide! A better movie, and with Sean Connery no less. Although, Crimson Tide has Denzel...
I'm neither the right age or gender for the survey, but I played the game anyway.
ReplyDeleteI played here, if Blogger plays nice.
ReplyDeleteGood Blogger, nice Blogger. Blogger want a dog biscuit?
Wrong age for the survey ...
ReplyDeleteand I played here
i colored a few answers
ReplyDeleteI played by my own rules...
ReplyDeleteDeb
I played...but I did suggest different colors...:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm the correct age and gender, but not occupation. I'm just one of those weird church mega-volunteers.
ReplyDeleteBut I played here.
Oh, and I guess I'm not young anymore either! :-)
ReplyDeletehow depressing that i'm now officially old!
ReplyDeleteoh well, i still know how to play! heehee!
I played here!
ReplyDeleteI played here.
ReplyDeleteBLogger would such a good name for a dog!!
ReplyDeleteI played here.
Like so many of you, I'm old (at 42). Today, I feel every minute of it!
ReplyDeleteHowever, my answers to the five questions are posted.
Aha! Just on the cusp, at 32, exactly! And I played! Cheers, all!
ReplyDeleteI played here not bad for an old un....
ReplyDeletered blue and purple greetings from across the pond!!!
Heading off to play. ALthough I feel the need to pint out that you 'mericans have the colours all wrong. Canada's Conservatives are BLue and the Liberals are red--THe New Demcrats (a social democratic party) are orange. ANyway, click on my naem--that is just easasier
ReplyDeleteI got the "Red October" thought, too, RM - along with some others. I played here!
ReplyDeleteNote to Blogger bloggers: when I do the entire "http://yourbloghere.blogspot.com" it seems to work fine - maybe that's the problem? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI played!
ReplyDeleteAnd here is another one of the "older women!" (Sigh)... I've now moved up to another block of ages on those survey forms.
ReplyDeleteForever young and colorful
I did a link! I did a link!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am almost 38 years old too!!!!
I feel GOO-OOO_OOOD!!! Da-na-na-neh-neh
Oh crap-o-la!
ReplyDeleteIt did not work afterall.
Just go to Frog Blog, now my day is ruined. I still can't do links.
I have shown my true colors!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm waaaay over 32. Just in case you were wondering. :)
Red, Blue, and Purple: Friday Five, What a fun simple thing to do?
ReplyDeleteI even added a bonus. I had a birthday this week that put me way over the age limit Sue is looking for.
I played.
ReplyDeleteBlogger knocked me out the first time, so lets try again.
Alas, I had a birthday this week that puts me way over the age limit that Sue wants.
I played here.
ReplyDeleteFriends, friends, why be so binary about this. Perhaps 32 and under is young, but that doesn't mean 33 and older is old---just magnificent. And I can't wait until I'm 33, since I'm currently 27 and have been for a long time. A really, really, really long time.
ReplyDeleteI am however, too dense to figure out links so I'm not even trying. Okay, I'm also not trying because I'm out of town and because Sunday afternoon is the new Friday in my world.
I played!
ReplyDeleteAge is just a number. You're as old or as young as you feel. Today, I feel like 101.
I didn't write to Susan ('cause I'm too old), but I played!
ReplyDeleteBut ppb, 45 feels very old today, even if Friday is the new Sunday or Sunday is the new Friday.
ReplyDeleteI can't speak for the rest of y'all, but I am a young and fabulous 50, and I just played.
ReplyDeleteI played, and must be bringing up the rear. If you aren't sick of red, blue and purple yet, just click on this and it will take you to my little part of the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteHere is my effort.
ReplyDeletetoo old, too tired, but up for the friday five - here's my
ReplyDeletei'm late, but i played.
ReplyDeleteI'm old, too. A long time ago I graduated from a seminary where the school colors were red, white, and blue. See my red, white, and blue answers here.
ReplyDeleteI'm young enough... and though I'm late, I played, for my first time.
ReplyDeleteCheck it out!
Carmen, I regularly answer after midnight. So your late answer beat my early answer.
ReplyDeleteheh, its even late for me for bedtime, too. i'm getting too old, i guess. or i'm too old to be the mother of a 3 and an 8 year old.
ReplyDeleteI did play on Friday with 25 minutes to go. Go to spiritual motion and check out the "seeing red" ... designer what?
ReplyDeleteGo to
ReplyDeleteTrivia Challenge to find out how much you know about color! You know you want to.
I played here.
ReplyDeletefinally played
